Hi
I am faced with a rather odd problem, I have a .exe file (driver for GSM
card) I manage to connect to our hardware via USB, run the .exe on the PC
and it starts to install the driver onto our hardware, it get through the
process but I find that some of the files (those that go into \windows
directory are present) but part of the installation is that it creates some
sub directories in the Program Files directory and I find that these
directories haven't been created and the files are not there.

Now heres the interesting bit, I create another project (exactly same
environment variables), only this time I tick the include Inbox component
and again try to install the driver and this time the directories are
created and all the files (.exe, dlls) are in place. This is all
repeatable.

Another thing is that when it installs correctly the process takes about 20
seconds, when it doesn't install correctly it takes a couple of minutes,
very strange. I also find that with the image that doesn't let me installl
the driver correctly also (70% of the time) falls over when trying to copy
large files across (9 MB ish)

I would have suspected the .exe running on the PC but this doesn't happen on
our wince300 platform, I can run other .exe on the PC and they seem to
install correctly, its such a horrible bug, I have also tried builds witout
QFEs and with QFEs but alas get the same result.

Any ideas would be very much appreciateed, I'm at the end of my teather with
this one (well almost).
